Washougal — At Cape Horn-Skye Elementary, there might be no more desirable place to have your picture plastered than on a “Wanted” poster.
Each month, new “Wanted” posters with different students’ pictures hang in the school, each with students donning cowboy hats, bandanas and mustaches.
The posters reward students as part of the school’s Western-themed Random Acts of Kindness Roundup, which started in the fall. The program allows students and adults to nominate people who are observed being kind. So far, it’s mostly students who earn the recognition, according to Michele Mederos, the school’s counselor.
Students have been honored for helping fellow students up who fell on the playground, holding doors open and picking up things around the classroom, but Mederos said they’re also teaching students other ways to help out.
